The documentary version of 'Trainspotting' -- directed by a debutant who himself is struggling with years of heroin addiction and a past that he finally has to face up to. Garry Fraser grew up in the Edinburgh neighbourhood Muirhouse, where 'Trainspotting' actually takes place. But there is not much 'heroin chic' about the real thing: an extremely poor and dilapidated neighbourhood, where Fraser himself was abandoned to the authorities as a 8-year-old, in a tough environment of violence and abuse. Now, he wants to break the pattern and give his own children the life he never had. And visit his parents, who themselves abandoned him, only to find out why things went so badly wrong for him and so many others of his generation. 'Everybody's Child' is the raw and moving story about a man who is determined to get away from his life of crime and drugs. For in spite of his lifelong descent, one still senses a indomitable determination and optimism in Garry, who also lends a voice to a people, who are more often talked about than listened to.
